You know that Mormon was the name of a prophet historian and the name was used in the book Book of Mormon so when did the religion start to prefer the term LDS?
Yes it is true that Mormon is the name of a prophet and historian in the Book of Mormon, but members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints have always preferred to be called "Latter Day Saints" since the beginning.Much of this comes from this verse:"And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses' name then it be Moses' church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called on my name then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon the Gospel." -Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 27:8Calling them "Mormons" gives the false illusion that they worship Mormon, not Jesus Christ, and also that they only use the Book of Mormon, when they also use the Bible.Also, the nickname "Mormon" was given to Church Members by enemies of the Church, so you can understand why they aren't thrilled about using it.Rather than make a big deal about it, they have largely accepted the nickname, although many members find it desrespectful or offensive.
